One-Way Mission To Mars

It’s either the craziest thing a human could do, or the boldest: taking a one-way trip to the Red Planet. For 100 people recently named as finalists for a trip to Mars, it’s the dream of a lifetime, but one that comes with grave risks and historic rewards. Selected by the Dutch nonprofit Mars One from more than 200,000 applicants, these finalists must now endure rigorous physical and mental testing to make the next round of cuts. Kojo talks with the prospective Mars explorers from our area, and finds out more about the realities of a trip that some have said is still decades away.
